Title: Civil rights


1
Civil Rights
2
Equal Protection and Discrimination
  • Civil rights law is a widely varied practice
    area. Perhaps the biggest part involves the right
    to equal protection under the law.
  • The federal government and many state governments
    have since developed more laws to prevent many
    forms of discrimination by private establishments.

3
Other Civil Liberties
  • One of the strengths of our civil liberties is
    that they belong to all U.S. citizens, even those
    who have committed crimes. Prisoners still
    maintain basic constitutional rights to privacy,
    speech, religion, and due process.

4
Due Process and Enforcement of Civil Rights
Violations
  • The unsung hero of the constitutional amendments,
    however, is the right to Due Process, which can
    be found in both the Fifth and Fourteenth
    Amendments.
  • The right to Due Process means that the
    government cannot take away the rights to life,
    liberty, or property, without a proper hearing.
